We are only one week away from the big day: the project goes live with Printopia 2026, on September 10th!
I've been working on the stretch goals, in the last update I asked you to vote on which stretch goals you would prefer and there was a draw between planners and small art prints (postcard size) 🥹 So you made the choice, and I'll deliver it!
I already have one planner design ready! Here's the sneak peek 🫣:
I'll be working on at least another planner design (weekly view instead of a monthly one). ☺️
But let's talk about the book now!
What's Inside?
30 unique illustrations;
Small introductions of each character and some fun facts!
A make your character page! With a blank ID page for you to fill in and a page to add your own feline drawing, feel free to self insert your own cat friend or your favorite character :)
Book Features
The coloring book is square shaped and measures 21 x 21cm (approximately 8.3 x 8.3 inches);
Single-sided pages to prevent ink bleed-through from ruining your work on the reverse side;
With a soft-touch matte cover;
Internal pages of extra white premium paper - 160 g/m² (approximately 108 lb);
The initial goal of the project is to achieve 1750€, with this amount we will be able to produce the physical coloring book! The initial goal is higher than the ones in my last 2 backerkit projects, so I'm a bit nervous about it, but I want the book to feel premium and the thick pages are a MUST since I know a lot of you like to use markers for coloring books.
Hopefully we will be able to reach that goal and even unlock some of the stretch goals 🫣
And if you didn't follow the project yet, now it's your change!
Follow the project and receive this free sticker of Void wearing his cute yellow raincoat with your pledge! It will automatically apply the reward to all the backers who followed the project before launch.
Just finished the book and sent it to the printer! Production is expected to take 3-4 weeks, and shipping to my door is estimated to be 6-8 weeks after that.
Also, update on the bookmarks: they're currently in transit. I can't wait to show them!
I've sent out the surveys! The survey is required to receive your rewards, so fill it out as soon as you can!
Book status! Getting the files ready for printing! The digital book will soon be ready for distribution, too. Here's some previews! California Bay Area locals! If you'd like to save on shipping, select Local Pickup in the Country dropdown in the shipping address section. Pick-up will be in Livermore.
There's still a handful of you who haven't gotten to them yet and that's okay! I was able to place orders for all the merch for the campaign, and surveys will be open until early November~
IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN A SURVEY: Please visit https://charles.backerkit.com/ to fill it out! There is one person who had their email bounce and I have no way of contacting you to fix the issue.
In a few days, your survey will be sent to the email address associated with your Backerkit account.
When you receive your survey, please fill it out as soon as possible. The sooner I receive delivery details, the sooner distribution can begin after the reward items arrive!
The first Batch of Surveys have been sent out! Second batch coming between tomorrow and Thursday. So keep an eye out for yours.
Surveys help us know what designs you want for certain add ons, give you a chance to add extra goodies if you wish, and help us secure your shipping payment/shipping info.
Without the survey, we wont be able to send out rewards so make sure you get them filled out as soon as you can! <3
Surveys will be going out very soon! These are required for me to get you your items, so please take a look when the email arrives in your inbox!

I'm already working on ordering items, so I'm not allowing extra add-ons (besides digital items) to make sure I can get items shipped out as quickly as possible for all of you!!! The eBook will be sent out end of November at the latest, and the Audiobook will be sent out sometime 2027 once we finish recording and editing.
Shipping addresses will be locked mid-November. If you may have an address change in the near future please let me know so I can hold your items until you have a firm address~
If you ordered one of the print books (mini or regular), you'll also have a question about who you want the book signed by: Charles, Damien, and/or Thistle! Below is a photo of what all of their signatures look like to help you with your decision.
